Have you ever taken care of a small child? You can see how limited their understanding is of the world around them, and how they struggle to find their way. It makes you wonder, as an adult, what are the limits of our understanding of the world around us?
Most everyone sees the world around us as a physical reality. The forms and shapes have a profound effect on our thoughts, decisions and emotions. We view cause and effect as a one to one relationship and we see time as a linear progression from the past to the present and eventually the future. This is a limited and mundane way to see the world. The world is made up of energy, everyone and everything is energy. Given this understanding, how does that change the way you view the world? Meditate on this. If someone is yelling at you, would you view the event differently if you understood it to be just a flow of energy? Would you take it personally, might you draw different conclusions, would you see it as very personal or put it into perspective in a larger event as it relates to the flow of energy?
Try not to struggle with yourself, expand your understanding of the world around you, when you change the way you look at the world, the world you look will change.
